“In England, men out of work are trudging the countryside from one workhouse to another to get a free meal.’’ said Mr J. Duller, in addressing the Auckland Dotary Club, “while on the other side of the hedge are lands yielding not 10 ]M?r cent of what they could produce under intensive cultivation. The row seems to have replaced the plough in England’s rural districts,, ami there is nothing like the amount of cultivation there was in years gone by. ft all the surplus labour could only be organised and faught farm work. Dritnin’s army of workless men would become a constructive, instead of a destructive, element in the life of the nation. It occurred to me that this was a matter which Rotarinns at Home might perhaps he able to take in band.’’

AVc wore not aware that the most versatile radical of the New Zealand Labour Parliamentarians was a dolvor into the mysteries of ancient or modern Egypt or that lie was a great theological student and bad recently made a tour of Palestine to become more closely intimate with those interesting and inspiring places mentioned in the Bible; but our evening contemporary at Greymouth credits Air Peter Frazer. ALP., with giving a lecture on Palestine the other evening at Grevmoutli. The

“Star” said in Thursday’s issue:— : “ All interesting address was given on Palestine, by Air Peter Krazor, AI.P., Wellington, in St. John’s Presbyterian C'lmreh last evening. There was a good attendance, and Air Frazer’s lecture, which was profusely illustrated with a fine set of views, taken by himself, was much appreciated.” AVc know that Air Peter Frazer, ALP., was an interested spectator of the proceedings at tin: sitting of the Election Court at Creymouth and that the tallowing paragraph appeared in the personal columns of the “ Star ” on the same day as the above local: “Air Peter Frtv.er. AI.P. for Wellington Central, who has been on. a visit to Groymoulh as the guest of .Mr and Airs .las. O’Brien, left by to-day’s express for Cbii'Lcbiireb.” Now it is interesting to note that the paragraph re the lecture apnea red in yesenlay morning’s Argus.” but. as we said before, we are not aware tab! Air Peter Frazer bad visited Palestine, or that be bad returned with a collection of slides from bis own photographs. We do know that Rev. P. B. Fraser. ALA., the well-known Presbyterian .Minister of this town made a tour of Palestine and returned only recoin !y and it i-. perhaps, this gentleman who gave tinlecture ai < treyinoutli on Wednesday evening. Ir seems strange bow both our contemporaries were misinformed. In last evening’s Greymoutli “Star” there was a local to the effect that the Hcv. P. 1L Fraser gave a lecture on Palestine in St. John’s Presbyterian Church. Greymoutli. but it is not stated whether Air Peter Frazer. ALP., is going to forsake the turmoil ol politics for the more uplifting and tranquil work connected with the teaching of the gospel.
